Does Matt Ryan agree with Roddy White on how to attack Broncos defense?

Atlanta wide receiver Roddy White appeared to be multitasking on Wednesday while he Tweeted while watching game tape of the Broncos.

White, never known to be shy about expressing himself on the social media network (seriously, just google Roddy White Twitter and see what comes up), shared some thoughts on the Broncos defense. His comments, strung together from several Tweets, were: “Watching film and the broncos love to play cover 6 and cover 4 little man coverage on third and medium or short #runmiketurnerrun. We can hit some throws over the top I think big plays this could be very interesting.”

White had to clarify a few minutes later, trying to say he wasn’t giving away secrets to the Falcons’ gameplan, but rather sharing what he saw from his own, independent evaluation of Denver’s defense.

I asked Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan today if he, too, thought the Falcons could exploit the Broncos by going over the top of the secondary.

“I’m not going to get into our plans, but they play defense the same way everybody else does in the NFL,” Ryan said. “They give you some chances, they take some chances, but they’ll also play coverage.”

So Ryan wasn’t giving anything the Broncos to use as bulletin board material. Does he wish his receivers would clam up, too?

“No,” Ryan said, laughing. “I like that they’re confident. I like that those guys want to go out there and make plays.”
